Atrisha Lewis is a rising star in Canadian legal history, achieving an impressive level of success and recognition in just five years since her call date in 2013. She is now among the top litigators in the country and was awarded the prestigious Precedent Setter Award in 2018, which recognizes outstanding lawyers within their first 10 years of call. Colleagues describe her as determined, intelligent, and skilled, with a clear goal of becoming Canada's top civil litigator.

Currently at McCarthy Tétrault in Toronto, Atrisha is seeking election as a Law Society Bencher, which would make her the youngest Bencher ever to hold this prestigious position. Despite the tradition of Convocation being reserved for older, white, and male lawyers, Atrisha is determined to increase diversity and its benefits in the halls of Osgoode Hall.

For many in the legal profession, Atrisha is a role model and the future of the profession. Her achievements and ambitions are awe-inspiring, and her determination to bring positive change to the profession is admirable.
